Default converter question

I have a cam only 01 z28 with a vig 4100. BESt pass was 1.56 60ft.11.68 @ 113. THat seems a little low in mph to me. Would I be better off going with a yank ss4000. Any advice on this?

Well it's obvious that your Vig is working just fine with that 1.56 sixty . If you want more mph , just add a set of good flowing heads on your car since you already have a cam. I wouldn't change converters if I were you.

Well your car is running pretty good. That low of a 60' tends to reduce your trap a bit. Like the previous poster said I wouldn't bother switching converters as it's obviously working well. Maybe a little nitrous

I guess ill try it for a little longer. I like the way it works and feels in normal driving just heard some negative feed back on Vig converters as far as mph.

With a converter change, if you gain any in mph, you will lose it in 60 ft times IMO. So what are you really chasing? E.T.s or MPH?
